Razer Reveals Mouse Bungee For Wired Mice Users

It's a battle that will probably never end: wired vs. wireless mice.
Some gamers swear by wired mice, claiming that they're more accurate and
that they won't just die on your mid-game if your batteries run out.
Some say that the flexibility of a wireless mouse trumps even that, and
that they'd rather never worry about a cord slowing down their
movements. We obviously see the pros and cons of both input methods, and
Razer has been supporting both camps for years.

The company's newest product is actually an accessory designed to make
life easier for those who swear by wired mice. It's a Mouse Bungee,
developed in cooperation with a company by the same name. The mouse
bungee is a useful product; it keeps your mouse cable from becoming
tangled, and it makes neat what would otherwise be a mess. Razer calls
it a "simple yet innovation solution to a problem common to gamers," and
we agree.

It has a base plate with 3 non-slip and non-scratch feet and a
dual/parallel suspension spring. The company claims that it will give
any wired mouse the freedom of motion normally associated with cordless
mice by eliminating mousecord snags, drag and tangles, and the mouse
wires even snap into place on the rear cord lock so mice won’t be
weighed down and will be held at the same point. It's expected to ship
worldwide this quarter, but a price hasn't been listed just yet.
